SELLING SURFBOARDS & SURF MEMORABILIA

We do not buy surfboards or memorabilia. We sell on consignment only. Our aim here at Soul Surf is to keep the true soul of surfing alive, so we would love to help you make sure your item goes to someone who truly appreciates it, and for the right price.

We must see the item in person to value it correctly. Keep in mind that not all old boards and memorabilia are considered collectable and/or valuable. We do not value surfboards or memorabilia via email or photos. We can however view photos to recommend whether or not it is worthwhile bringing to us. If you are bringing in your items for us to value, just give us a call in advance on 02 99996365, so we can make sure Seb is here to value them. For all surfboards, PLEASE REMOVE ALL WAX AND CLEAN THE BOARD UP FIRST. PLEASE ALSO ENSURE ALL FINS ARE WITH ANYSECOND-HANDBOARD. They are hard to sell without fins.

As a requirement of our second-hand dealers licence, we must hold all items in our secure premises. This is also to enable an accurate valuation, and because most buyers will either prefer to see the item in person, or they phone us asking us for a detailed description (which we can only give if the item is in front of us). If you live interstate, we can organise freight of your items to us, so please contact us to discuss. Our premises are fully insured, so you’re in good hands.

Please note, we are happy to sell your items on consignment, as long as we are the exclusive selling agent. If we see your board also listed on any of the auction sites or other social media pages for sale, we will remove your item/s from our website, and request that you come and collect them from our store. If you choose instead to place your item up for sale on one of the many auction sites, if it does not sell, we will not accept the item and place it up for sale on our site for a minimum of 6 to 12 months. Once an item has been passed in or pulled down on one of those sites, if it then comes to us, our experience has shown that offers will always come in much lower than it’s true value. Even though a lot of collector’s choose not to purchase through auctions sites, they do still keep an eye on what’s around.

As part of our second-hand dealers licence, it is a requirement of the NSW Police Department that we get some details from you for anything second-hand that we sell. If you wish to save time filling in the paper work when you bring your item in, just email us and we can send you the form to fill out and bring with you. (Please see below for further details on our second-hand dealers licence).

VALUATIONS

Just want a valuation? We are happy to value your surfboard or memorabilia item in person for a fee of $50. If you then also decide to use our services for selling your item, this $50 fee will be refunded to you once the item is sold. You are welcome to come and see us at our store in Mona Vale, Sydney. Please give us a call in advance on 02 99996365 so we can make sure the Seb will be in the store when you call in. If the item is a surfboard, please ensure you remove all wax and clean the board up before bringing it in, and ensure all the fins are with the board. Sorry, but we do not value items for you to put on other auction sites, and we do not value items via email or photos.
